Our theme for this month is Traditional Christmas - I know I still have lots of cards to make, so the theme has helped me get a move on!! I have two cards to share with you.
Stamps: Waltzingmouse - 2011 Hoiliday Ornaments
Inks: Versamark; Distress - Fired Brick
Spellbinders: Fleur de Lis Squares (S4-126) #4, Squares Lg (S4-126) #6, Lacey Squares (S4-295) #3, 2011 Heirloom Ornaments (S4-334) #3
Accessories: Design Paper - Papermania Classic Christmas Red; Gold embossing powder, Card from stash
I used this week's Mojo Monday - MOJO265 sketch for the layout, obviously going with the square!!! There is very little stamping on this card - lots of layers with the different papers and vellum using my Spellbinder dies. I finished off with a gorgeous gold bauble and simple red sentiment. A traditional red and gold card!!
Stamps: My Favourite Things - Christmas set
Inks: Versamark; Distress - Black Soot
Spellbinders: Circles Sm (S4-116) #3
Accessories: Design Paper - Papermania Classic Black Christmas; Silver embossing powder, Card from stash
My second card is a little more contemporary with a black and silver colour theme. I used this month's My Favourite Things - Guest Designer challenge - MFTGD1112 for the layout. Once again there is very little stamping on the card, lots of papers though. I stamped this fabulous text Christmas tree in Versamark, heat embossed in silver and then cut it out. I added some distress ink to define the edges.
